Australia’s CDR rules enforcement leads to A$792,000 fine for Commonwealth Bank over failed business data sharing.
The Commonwealth Bank of Australia has been fined A$792,000, the largest penalty to date for violating Australia’s Consumer Data Right (CDR) rules, after failing to enable data sharing for certain business accounts.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) found the bank did not allow business customers to securely share financial data with trusted third parties, such as accounting services, forcing manual or less secure methods.
The breach stemmed from an incomplete rollout in 2021 that missed certain account types.
The bank voluntarily reported the issue, apologized, and will contact affected customers about potential remediation while improving systems to ensure ongoing compliance.
The penalty exceeds the previous record set by National Australia Bank and underscores the ACCC’s commitment to enforcing CDR rules, which aim to give consumers greater control over their data and access to better financial products.
